This was the topic discussed in our last ever lecture today. Overall, the subject was intellectually stimulating and very informative. I have learned to know more about the world rather than just stuck in the lab dealing with the micro organisms.
I have learned a lot of things which makes me wonder what is goin on in the world we live in?
Why are these happening?
Anyways, yeah th elast lecture was pretty draining coz for some reason I was very sleepy and fatigue so I was not able to concentrate. But there is one point at least that I have learned. When the media says 'Islam and the West' it is VERY GENERIC..
Think about it..
When you say Islam, what aspects of Islam? Which theological group in Islam are you referring to? Which ethnicity? which sects? and mind you that there are A LOT of different theological group amongst the Muslims.. The liberals, Sufis, Shias, Sunnis, Ismailis, Mu'tazilites, Ahmadis, Duruz, Alavis, The fundamentalists, Talibans? The Arabs? Afghans? Asians? etc.. Soooooo which sect of Muslim are you trying to talk about?
And when you say 'The West'..
What aspects of the west are you referring to? Economics? politics? Societies?Education? Monarchy System? if so, which society? Which theological groups? Socialists? Marxist? Communists? Fascists?
Therefore, next when you speak about Islam and the West, do specify which you are referring to so that you do not generalize and say that ALL Muslims are bad or EVERYTHING from the West are not Islamic thus has to be eliminated or despised..
A reminder for myself and for everyone..
Peace Out
